On April 26, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai announced a proposal to begin dismantling the Open Internet Order. The Order, adopted by the FCC in 2015 after robust public input by millions of Americans, established basic rules-of-the-road for internet service providers and ensured that net neutrality is the law of the land.

Now, as the FCC prepares for a May 18 vote on Pai’s proposal, the millions of Americans, small businesses, and consumer advocates that asked for the rules are gearing up to defend them.

Join New America’s Open Technology Institute as we welcome Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), the ranking member of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, to discuss the future of the open internet.
